Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 8
Li Lin signed in at the factory, and after sitting for a while, he went out with a certificate.

Since he came back, all he could think about was Xiao Ruoyan, and he found that he had been completely fascinated by Xiao Ruoyan.

Who can resist the pure and charming face and the appearance of Yujie?

Well, he admitted that he was greedy for others.

Li Lin came to the place where Xiao Ruoyan was studying yesterday.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ruoyan was not found.

Li Lin parked his bicycle next to the big tree and leaned against it.

Enjoying the warm breeze blowing against your cheeks.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Ruoyan did not arrive.

Li Lin took out the biscuits he bought on the road and ate them.

Just when Li Lin finished eating the biscuits, a voice came over.

"Are you Li Lin?"

A sturdy young man came over and said.

Li Lin stood up and said
"That's right, I'm Li Lin, I don't know why you want me?"

The sturdy young man said

"My name is Xiao Zhengdong, and Xiao Ruoyan is my sister.

I heard that you like my sister, so I came to see you, I want to see what you really are like"

It turned out to be Xiao Ruoyan's brother, isn't this his future brother-in-law?
Li Lin said nervously
"How do you feel after watching it?"

Xiao Zhengdong looked at Li Lin carefully and said

"You look pretty handsome, but what about your personality?"

He heard today that his father and mother were going to betroth their younger sister to a man named Li Lin.

I suddenly felt anxious inside, so I heard that Li Lin was here, so I came to see Li Lin to see what kind of person Li Lin was.

Looking at it today, I think it's pretty good, but I just don't know how my character is.

Why did Li Linzheng worry about seeing Xiao Ruoyan? Didn't this opportunity come?

Li Lin said

"That uncle, oh no, that Zhengdong brother, I wonder if you can let me meet Xiao Ruoyan?"

Xiao Zhengdong thought for a while when he heard this.

We should let the little sister get along with this guy and see if she is satisfied. If the little sister is not satisfied, then he must not agree.

"Well, wait for me for a while, I'll call my little sister"

Li Lin said excitedly when he heard this
"Thank you Brother Zhengdong"

After Xiao Zhengdong finished speaking, he turned and left.

After a while, Xiao Zhengdong led Xiao Ruoyan to this place.

After Xiao Zhengdong and Xiao Ruoyan said something, Xiao Ruoyan came to Li Lin alone.

Xiao Ruoyan also knew that his parents were going to betroth him to Li Lin, so he was also very curious about what kind of person Li Lin was and how he would treat him in the future?
So after hearing what his brother said, he chose to come here.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere between them gradually became awkward.

After all, this is the first official meeting between the two.

In the end, Li Lin opened the conversation and said
"Do you like to read? I saw you sitting under this big tree reading a book yesterday"

Xiao Ruoyan began to say with that pleasant voice

"I can't say that I like reading. I just use reading as a way to pass the time.

But when you read more, it becomes a habit.

By the way, why did you take a fancy to me? "

Hearing this, Li Lin said in embarrassment.
"Because you are so beautiful, you look exactly like the girl of my dreams."

Xiao Ruoyan immediately felt shy when she heard this. People in this era are more reserved and don't have such straightforward words.

Seeing Xiao Ruoyan's shy appearance, Li Lin said again

"I like you, can I propose marriage to your family?
I promise I will treat you well in the future."

He was also a novice in love in his previous life. After all, he had been fighting for his own life in his previous life and neglected love.

Li Lin waited anxiously for Xiao Ruoyan's answer.

Xiao Ruoyan shyly said to Li Lin

"What I say doesn't count, what my parents say counts"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Li Lin hesitated for a while when he heard this, then he understood and said loudly
"Just wait, I will definitely ask my mother to propose marriage to your family."

Xiao Zhengdong and Xiao Ruoyan were walking on their way home.

"Little sister, you really fell in love with him"

Xiao Ruoyan nodded and said
"Well, I like it. After all, the way he looks at me, I can feel that he treats me sincerely."

Xiao Zhengdong scratched his head when he heard this, why couldn't he see it?

Li Lin felt full of energy, and quickly rode his bicycle back home.

Then he urged his mother to propose marriage as soon as possible.

Li's mother was in a daze. Why did she inexplicably ask to propose a marriage just a day later, and she didn't even get to know their family well.

After asking about the whole story, I realized that the girl agreed and waited for her parents to propose marriage.

Li's father and Li's mother are very helpless, they haven't figured it out yet, why are they going to propose marriage?

And looking at Li Lin like this, if they didn't agree, they would probably be exactly like their second son, and they had no choice but to compromise in the end.

However, there is still a process that should be done.

Mother Li invited a matchmaker to go to Xiao's house the next day to negotiate a match.

"How is it? What is Captain Xiao thinking about?

You have to be clear that the conditions of their family are five-employees.

Moreover, Li Lin's job is that he is a popular buyer. Think about what Ruoyan of your family can't get by following him.

And I see that Li Lin is a caring person, and if your family Ruoyan marries him, it will be a blessing."

Father Xiao is not a ghost who doesn't know how the matchmaker's mouth is deceiving, but he still nodded in approval.

Because he knew that Li Lin should be sincere to his doll. After all, his doll said that the way Li Lin looked at him was very sincere.

Just for this reason, his daughter shouldn't have to endure hardship when she gets married.

He also asked his doll how he felt about Li Lin?
Xiao Ruoyan said
"That man is so bold, he actually said he likes me, and that I'm his dream lover."

Xiao Ruoyan's father said again

"How's his house?"

The matchmaker was a little bit embarrassed when she heard this, but she still said truthfully
"Their family is a five-employee family, so it is said that their family still gets quite a lot of houses.

His father and mother were in a separate room, his eldest brother and sister-in-law were in a separate room, and his second brother and second sister-in-law were also in a separate room.

But, since Li Lin didn't have a job before, he didn't have an assigned house. He lived in the utility room of their house.

But you can rest assured that he is a buyer in the factory, and he should be able to allocate the house immediately."

Father Xiao heard this and said:

"In this case, we agreed to this marriage, but we still have to meet with his parents to discuss it. What do you think?"

When the matchmaker heard this, she immediately felt calm and said

"Okay, it should be.

Let's do this, you guys will meet in three days, and the factory will have a holiday in three days, what do you think?"

Xiao Ruoyan's father nodded.

The matchmaker looked at Xiao Ruoyan's father and said with a smile
"Then I will go back and resume my life."

After saying this, the matchmaker left.

The Li family also received information about the matchmaker.

Li Lin danced happily in the room.

Mother Li couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she saw this scene.

"It's up to you to get the supplies in three days. After all, you are more capable than us.

And there is still something to do about your marriage in three days, so you should be the one responsible for the supplies, both emotionally and logically."

Li Lin patted his chest and said

"Leave everything to me"

Anyway, I have to sign in the next day, so I should be able to get some good stuff.

People in Li Lin's blind date yard had different thoughts.

The third master smashed his mouth and said
"I originally thought that Li Lin would wait until a year before considering getting married, but I didn't expect that he would get married now.

I'm also going to introduce my relative's daughter to him."

The reason for having such an idea is not to take advantage.

If there is a relationship with relatives, wouldn't it be fair to take advantage of it?

Moreover, their family has five employees, and even a small deduction is enough to feed their family for several days.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu heard that Li Lin asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to someone else, their faces suddenly became confused.

They didn't expect Li Lin to have a daughter-in-law so soon.

What they are worried about is that Li Lin has a wife, will he take them to play in the future?

Since Li Lin found a job, he rarely comes to play with them.

The second uncle on the side was just slightly surprised, but didn't have any thoughts.

After all, he didn't want to take advantage of the Li family. After all, the conditions of his family were among the best in the yard.

However, when I thought of helping someone else's family, my daily eggs became once every two days, and I couldn't help but sigh.

Jia Zhang said

"Isn't he just a rural person?

What's there to be proud of, isn't marrying here just to increase the burden on the family?

I thought I married into a good family."

Qin Huairu felt very unhappy when she heard this. After all, she was also from the countryside.

When Jia Dongxu heard his mother say here and saw Qin Huairu's face, he couldn't help but said:

"Mother, aren't you from the countryside? Why do you look down on the rural people so much? People can't forget their roots."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was immediately choked and speechless.

I could only snort and continue making shoes.

On the third day

"Sign in"

"Thirty pounds of pork, thirty pounds of ribs, fifty pounds of flour, thirty pieces of chocolate, full-level braised pork, full-level sweet and sour pork ribs, and some extra condiments."

Li Lin looked at what he signed in with some surprise. He thought he could only sign in for supplies, but he didn't expect that he could also sign in for skills.

However, what Li Lin values ​​most is these condiments. You must know that these condiments were very precious in the 60s.

It's like the simplest condiment, salt, which is very expensive in this era, and you just put a little to taste it every time you eat it.

After that, Li Lin's head suddenly appeared all the skills of frying braised pork and making sweet and sour pork ribs.

And there was a warm current in my body, as if I was a seasoned chef who made these two kinds of food.

Li Lin couldn't wait to fry a plate of braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs.

But in the end, he suppressed it and prepared to give Xiao Ruoyan a surprise when he arrived tomorrow.

"Third brother, you really spent a lot of money to get a wife."

Mother Li looked at Li Lin who was carrying pork, pork ribs and a fish and said.

Li Lin put these things down and said
"By the way, I will make the meat and ribs tomorrow"

Mother Li was a little hesitant when she heard this.
"Can you do it? Don't waste a good thing."

Li Lin said

"To be honest, I am actually a good friend of a chef. He taught me several dishes. Braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs are one of them."

Mother Li obviously didn't believe it, so she didn't agree.

After all, tomorrow is about the in-laws' impression of their family.

Second day

The three members of the Xiao family came to Li Lin's house under the leadership of the matchmaker.

And the courtyard is full of people who want to watch the excitement.

They wanted to see what the person Li Lin was looking for looked like?
To be able to make the boy of the Li family say that she would not marry.

Especially the big boys are more curious.

"My dear, is this a fairy? Why do you look so beautiful?"

"What's the use of being beautiful, one look at the body is not good, one look at it is not a good child"

"If this girl had been born in the past, I'm afraid she would have been the concubine of a high-ranking official."

The aunt in the yard looked at Xiao Ruoyan's appearance and discussed in surprise.

As for the boys and girls in the courtyard, their eyes almost widened and their saliva almost flowed out, especially Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

Shazhu actually laughed at Li Lin for marrying a rural girl before, but when he saw her appearance, he also understood why Li Lin insisted on marrying a rural girl despite the dissuasion of his family members. Just kidding, who is this kind of girl? If you meet anyone, don't marry.

He suddenly felt that the title of the most beautiful woman in Sister Qin's courtyard should give way.

Xu Damao's eyes were straight at this time, but at this time he was already married. His appearance was naturally seen by Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e glanced at him and returned to the house angrily.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were full of envy. They envied that Li Lin could marry such a beautiful wife.

As for what the people in the yard said about poor fertility and weak bodies, they don't need to think about these things. What more bicycle do you need if you are so beautiful?
"I've brought you here, and I won't bother you anymore."

The matchmaker said to Mother Li.

Mother Li took out five yuan from her pocket and handed it into the matchmaker's hand and said

"Thank you, this is a little thought, don't refuse"

After seeing the money, the matchmaker immediately smiled even more.

After all, he used to receive one or two yuan, but he didn't expect the Li family to be so wealthy and willing to give five yuan.

Mother Li greeted the three of the Xiao family to sit down.

"Wait a minute, the dishes will be ready soon.

As for the affairs of our two families, we can talk about it after dinner."

After saying that, Mother Li went to work in the kitchen.

On the other hand, Father Li and Father Xiao began to chat about their childhood life. After all, they used to grow up in the same village.

Mother Li walked into the kitchen and looked at Li Lin who was cooking braised pork and said

"I finally understand why you, the boy, don't want to marry her.

This girl is really beautiful, and she has a natural aura that attracts your men."

There was another thing that Mother Li didn't say, which was that in her opinion, Xiao Ruoyan was too charming.

Li Lin just smiled when he heard this, and concentrated on frying the braised pork again.

Mother Li couldn't help but look a little ugly when she saw how many condiments Li Lin put into cooking.

But then he thought that Li Lin had brought back a lot of condiments, so there was no way to stop him.

Father Xiao was shocked when he looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of him. He knew that the Li Lin family's conditions were very good, but he didn't expect that they could get such a big pot of meat and such a big pot of ribs.

That's right, the meat and ribs are served in large pots, because the meat weighs about five catties and the ribs also weighs five catties.

As for the fish, he naturally ignored it. People these days naturally like to eat meat. How can they like to eat fish? After all, fish have spines and less meat.

Father Li said

"Eat, don't be polite"

After saying that, everyone at the table started moving.

Xiao Ruoyan picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it. Her big eyes sparkled when she ate it.

She thought this was the most delicious braised pork she had ever eaten in her life.

Mother Li has been observing Xiao Ruoyan all the time, and said when she saw this scene

"How is Ruoyan? Is this braised pork delicious?"

Xiao Ruoyan replied
"Auntie, your craftsmanship is amazing, this is the best braised pork I have ever eaten"

Mother Li laughed when she heard this.

“I didn’t do this, this was done by Li Lin.

He did it specially because of your arrival, and I don't even know he has such a skill.

By the way, he also made the sweet and sour pork ribs, try it and see if it tastes good"

Originally, Li's mother was not prepared to let Li Lin cook, but seeing that Li Lin was doing well, she chose to let it go.

And it seems to be pretty good.

Xiao Ruoyan heard this and started eating the sweet and sour pork ribs.

"This is also very delicious. Is this really made by Li Lin?"

Father Li was drinking with Father Xiao. When he heard this, he quickly put down his glass and said
"This guy Li Lin has such skills, how come I don't know about it? No, I want to try it and see if it's so delicious."

Father Li also picked up a piece of braised pork.

Father Li couldn't help but say after eating
"You all have to try this braised pork, and this sweet and sour pork ribs, it's really delicious, I didn't expect my third child to have such a good craftsmanship"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyan's father was also a little curious, so he also tasted the braised pork, and found that he couldn't stop after tasting it.

After the meal, the two families began to discuss the marriage.

"If our two families agree, then now is their wedding day. Where should they set it?"

Xiao's father took the Daqian doorway handed over by Li's father.

Mother Li felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and said:

"The problem is that my family, Li Lin, is only 16 years old now. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to marry so early."

Father Xiao said without caring.
"It's not a problem, there are a lot of people who get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen"

Li Lin felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. After all, he came from modern times, and at most he could only accept getting married when he was here.

Father Xiao said

"In that case, let's set it in a month. As for the betrothal gift, it's up to you to decide how appropriate it is."

Xiao Ruoyan's father said

"Just give it to me. Li Lin is a kid that suits my needs."

He is very satisfied that his daughter can marry into such a family, so it doesn't matter if the bride price is not given, after all, he doesn't rely on his daughter's bride price for a living.

Mother Li thought for a while and said
"Well, we will give you 20 yuan as the bride price."

Xiao Ruoyan's father thought that the Li family was not short of money anyway, so he agreed, and their marriage was settled like this.

Li Lin originally wanted to postpone the marriage for more than a year. After all, he will be 17 in a month, and it will be in a year. By then, he will not have the burden of modern people in his heart to get married.

But when he thought of Xiao Ruoyan's appearance, he immediately acquiesced. After all, he wanted to be with Xiao Ruoyan as soon as possible.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ruoyan is two years older than Li Lin, that is.

　I felt a little uncomfortable when I wrote about getting married at 16, so I wanted to see if you could accept it.

　　If you can accept it, I will continue to write down. If you can't accept it, please let me know by commenting, so I can change it.

　　If I don’t post it, I’ll think I’ve accepted it.
　　Accept opinions today, and update them tomorrow
